Hi Steve,
 
Thanks for the advice. I've had no luck looking online to find BFD2 and it seems that BFD3 is over $300 (+ the Mason drums). I think I'll sit this one out and maybe watch for future specials...

According to an esoundz post, these will be available in Kontakt soon.  They'll probably run through esoundz Infinite Player, so you could purchase the infinite player (which goes on sale regularly, I think) and then you could use the drums in Kontakt, if past experience is to be repeated.
 
 

Thanks guys - much appreciated!

Not trying to pressure you James but here in the UK I found BFD2 on sale for $186 which is maybe more to your liking ?
Not sure what the shipping costs would be or even if they ship to the USA.

JRRShop has the upgrade from Eco to BFD 2 for $84....

http://www.jrrshop.com/fxpansion-bfd-2-0-upgrade-download-license

Use coupon code NEWLETTER15 to get 15% off the $99, makin it $84.15

If you then want to upgrade to BFD 3 the cost is $126....so about $210 all the way there...
Just an FYI...
If you don't have Eco, it's $29 at Musicians Friend so that would be $113 to get all the way to BFD 2...
And then $126 to get to BFD 3 so $239 total....that's $110 less then Retail on BFD 3...

Thanks for that cclarry
I realised after posting this that you're not going to get BFD2 at the upgrade price if you don't own BFD1.5 or BFD Eco so if James doesn't have Eco $29 is a no brainer as it's the best in it's class IMHO and in many respects better than addictive drums.

I agree Twaddle....if you don't buy Eco for $29, and you're serious about your drums...
Well, let's just say you should be seeking counseling for a Neurological Disorder..

They are on the Dark Side...

Wow guys, THANKS! I just bought ECO for $29 at Musicians Friend. Now I have to figure out what the hell I just bought. :)
 
So, next step is to update that to BFD3.
 
Do I update to 2, then to 3, or go straight to 3?

Unfortunately there is no upgrade from Eco to BFD3 so you'll have to be quick and hope you can still get BFD2 at an upgrade price but since BFD2 is discontinued it seems quite a few retailers have bumped the price up or have at least stopped doing it at the upgrade price.
